INTRODUCTION

Sketch Workshop: Future Concepts is a ready-to-go workbook containing a project by the talented Jonas Minnebo who will help beginners and hobbyists learn to draw futuristic city scenes.

The Sketch Workshop – Future Concepts is 3dtotal's answer to the question: 'Why can't I draw futuristic scenes like that?' Designed for beginners and hobbyists alike, it's a fun and innovative way for people of all ages to find the inspiration to pick up a pencil and draw. It is different from our other books in that it is 50 percent a workbook in which you draw and 50 percent a project guide with instructional text and reference images for drawing characters. Created by a top industry artist who shares his tips and tricks and help you grasp the fundamental elements needed to draw beautiful futuristic sketches.

There are four other titles in the Sketch Workshop workbooks series, including: Robots and Spaceships, Cityscapes, Characters, and Anatomy. Also in the Sketch Workshop product range is a leather-style folder to hold your workbooks and sketching supplies. Don't forget to add your drawing tools to the basket if you want us to send you a bundle of high-quality pencils, drawing pens, a putty rubber and dual pencil sharpener to get you started! You can also buy the full bundle and save money!

I have been getting into digital painting in photoshop, and realised I needed to work on my freehand skills for certain things. This book has been perfect for helping me. Skills and techniques learnt drawing with pencil from this book have been transferable to digital art, and my work has improved no end.Review by Mr Ben J(Posted on 20/01/2019)
